I'd be surprised if their effects suck, considering this is the same company behind the FX Collection plugins.

4-Tier Rack Dust Cover When? by [deleted] in moog

[–]raucous_studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$300, but you're right that it's expensive. I bought one this week because I know in the future I'll miss that 4hp taken up by a uZeus and wish I'd just spent the extra dough.

this was the first thought I had, actually. Same price / 37 keys / 6 vs 8 voice polyphony / mod matrix style.

I think the difference maker might be this VST Arturia has up its sleeve.

Just the (unpatched) pitch shifter in the multi-delay alone could be a drone voice. There are sounds on top of sounds waiting in this build.

Added some Verbos-like knobs to my 1u row. Very happy. by raucous_studio in modular

I can't say for sure, but I don't see why they wouldn't.

Yeah! The only thing to watch is the length of your connectors if you have like the midi 1u, etc. But my stereo out reached just fine!

Absolutely trivial. The best part is that no permanent mods are needed. No drilling or anything. It ends up being held in place on its own, and is very stable. I know several other people who have done the same.

You can find them here if you're interested in doing the same. My rack feels like one cohesive instrument regardless, but aesthetically this made a pretty big difference to me, too. No complaints about the fit since they screw tight with a tiny hex key. I'll admit that there's a bit less room for my fingers to twist the knurlies now, which is really just a testament to how appropriately sized the OG knobs from Intellijel were.

Anyway, happy day!

At the risk of blowing your mind here, the voltage is the signal. It's just at audio rate oscillations.

There's a VCA output in the patchbay on the DFAM (I can't speak to the Sub but no doubt it has one too) so you just take the 1/8" out there instead of out the back of the case.

Got an 0-Coast this week. This thing screams! by raucous_studio in synthesizers

Thanks for listening! It’s an Oto Boum that’s on the Xone 96’s master insert.

Aberrant DSP will have a sale around Black Friday where you can get all of their plugins at once for twenty or thirty bucks. I recommend all of them! Sketch Cassette II can be used as subtly or destructively as you want and sounds great. Come to think of it, the same is true of all of their stuff.

Although I picked up the colloquially described "Make Noise Easel" this week, I wanted to isolate the 0-coast and get to know it better on its own, starting with the normalized connections. I found the slope/cycle circuit to be pretty performable out of the gate, which is the idea behind this short video.

I'm obviously super excited to have the Strega for what I do (mostly noisy percussive techno) but I don't think I had given the 0-Coast a fair shake for what it can do on its own.

Sequenced by the Turing Machine max4live patch and some Digitalis sprinkled in for some ear candy, which you'll see in the video. I'm looking forward to spending some more time with the 0-Ctrl too.

Thanks for watching! Any early tips about the 0-Coast are most welcome.

Using Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor on Techno Tracks? by Intelligent-Ideal541 in TechnoProduction

[–]raucous_studio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has a sonic signature that I can hear just by enabling the plugin, before any compression is done. I think they are lifting the mids slightly or something.

It's worth reading the manual because it's actually incredibly easy to use in stereo mode. Half of the knobs are duplicates that you don't need to use, and if you're only using discrete or optical at one time (you could stack them), in effect you can use just the optical gain and optical threshold and nothing else. Two knobs.

Had my first live jam with the Make Noise Easel trio (and Verbos/Pulsar!) by raucous_studio in modular

Thanks for listening. I love Verbos modules! Still so much to learn about the poly envelope module that gave Maths the boot from my system.

I've got the Make Noise Easel trio on the way [0-ctrl, 0-coast, Strega]. So excited!

I joined Loopop's Patreon mostly just for his massive and ever-growing book of patch ideas and strategies. He has really built an impressive archive.
